Before air crews take to the skies or land/maritime vehicles enter harm’s way, independent electronic warfare system verification and confidence testing are vital for mission success. ESL’s front line test solutions complement onboard, built-in test equipment for proven verification of defensive aid suite readiness before operational engagement. These meet any test requirement from complete, end-to-end testing to validation of a single software application.

All of ESL’s front line confidence test sets are manufactured as ruggedized, military-specification equipment and can be provided with software tools for threat reprogramming and full remote operation.
